Lebanese Central Bank Open to Raising Withdrawal Limits Under Conditions
Lebanon’s central bank signaled openness to raising dollar withdrawal limits, depending on conditions and financial stability, amid ongoing banking crisis and gradual reforms.
According to recent reports, Lebanon’s central bank has expressed willingness to consider raising the temporary dollar withdrawal limits for citizens, provided macroeconomic conditions and financial stability are met. This shift comes as the country continues to navigate its prolonged banking crisis, with authorities balancing public pressure for access to frozen deposits against the need to preserve remaining foreign reserves. The move is seen as a tentative confidence‑building step, linked to progress on the “financial gap” or deposit recovery framework and broader reforms under discussion with the IMF. It underscores the fragile nature of Lebanon’s economic recovery and the sensitivity of currency and capital controls.
